In Holland, in the Hague, there is a play ground. A candle sits within the circle of climbing chairs. A ghost playground for the children who would never climb these chairs. On each chair, climbing up to heaven are inscribed the name of a child. Surely we must promise to these children and to those in the future..never again.
This monument created by the artists Eric de Vries and Sara Benhamou is located in the childrens playground of the Rabbijn Maarsenplein in The Hague. Originally there were seven chairs…but one was stolen.
Unbelievable that someone would steal one of these chairs! So very poignant
Sad isn’t it? I always have to wonder, so they have it now, now what? Do you show your friends? Did they toss it? Very puzzling behaviour to say the least! ;-(
Maybe it is just mindless vandalism
One can only hope!
